Has anyone else downloaded this yet? The John Kirby Sextet sides are the best I've ever head of this group (though I can't claim I've heard a lot). What kind of program was this broadcast? Are there other extant broadcasts where there's a "narrator" reading the band leader's intros of the numbers?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun Dave van Ronk was pissed at Dylan for stealing his arrangement but it didn't sound that different to me from versions I heard by The Weavers and Joan Baez. (I thought I even remembered a version by The Kingston Trio but I think I'm misremembering as I often do.)

Irving Mills probably copyrighted it when Cab Calloway recorded it. Most recordings I've seen credit Mills sometimes under another name that he use. (Can't remember what it was.)

Ignore the question mark: it is Jim's birthday. I can't believe that I'm the first to say it here: Happy Birthday, Jim!

Glad to see people remembering him pre-Bond. Heard a piece on KCRW about him where they never mentioned any of his earlier work.

You're way too young to be worried about this. (Oh to be 60 again.) , But what's "snake" format?

http://www.jazzwax.com/2017/05/oscar-pettiford-1955-58.html Anyone here heard this yet?

So do you think it's a compilation from different sets? Ot is it one solo?

This is sure more than 3 choruses and maybe the longest Bird solo I've ever heard. But I don't know where this is from. Not identified on Youtube. Can anyone here i.d. it? Is this from The Apartment tapes

Happy B'day young man.

No extra footage-- the show was live. What you see is what you get.

Thanks. I think I asked the question based on a long solo I'd been listening to but I can't remember what it was.

I have a faint memory of there once being a discussion here about Bird's longest recorded solo but I'm not finding it using search. Anyone remember it or know ho to find it?

So how good is this compared to other Wes records?

Me too. I also have something claiming to be "The Complete Ellington Indigoes" and a Gold hi-def version. I first got it from the Columbia record club when it was just released and probably have owned more versions of it than anything except KOB (which i also received from the Columbia Record club when it was new).

This set contains the only known extant recording of Strayhorn's complete arrangement of Chelsea Bridge by the Ellington band. (Something I stumbled across by misunderstanding what Walter van de Leure wrote in his book. He didn't know it existed either. )

That first Jones-Smith session is so great. Does anyone know what kind of reaction there was when the two records were released?

I also found the Teagarden set 2nd hand without booklet. Just ordered a copy of the booklet from Mosaic. (To be shipped with the Mobley and Threadgill sets.)

I meant the Decarava book. (I actually have a copyof te DExter photo signed by Leonard. I expect that there are thousands of them.

I just orderd it from Smithsonian/Folkways. On a cd with Omer Simeon cuts.

I have that book and can't find that photograph in it! Anyone know what page it's on? (I have the 2001 Phaidon edition with no index or ids.) Many of DeCarava's photos are technically similar. And yes, hard not to id Big Ben.

Does anyone know where I can find the recording he mentions here?: Fats Waller participated in one session with Louis Armstrong and Jack Teagarden and friends that has come out on many bootleg recordings over the years. This session was issued in many different ways.

So no Teddy Wilson set?

Maybe I misunderstand (I often do) but shouldn't you order them before they're back in print to encourage them to print them? There's no risk since they don't charge you until they ship.
